Percival Pinkerton

Percival attended some of the finest military academies in the United Kingdom as a young man to follow his family's expectations that he become a fine military officer. However, he became bored of the military and spent his time womanizing and partying. He fell behind in his studies and was eventually asked for his resignation. His older brother Reginald remained at the academy, but Percival left his family, ashamed to face them again.

When World War II broke out, Percival enlisted and became a commando at the rank of private. Pervical was sent to the Howling Commandos as a replacement for their deceased member, Jonathan "Junior" Juniper. Although they were initially skeptical if Percy had the makings of a Howler, he quickly proved himself on their mission to stop Baron Heinrich Zemo who had created a death-ray. Percy continued to serve the Howlers with distinction for the remainder of the war.

Like several other of the Howling Commandos, Pinkerton briefly joined S.H.I.E.L.D. as a favor to Nick Fury after the attack of the Deltites.
